Among the regulars who arrived here
yesterday trio were determined to see
the city. As they had to wait here half n
day they slipped off up town and got
jolly full. One was raising SO much
noise that the police nabbed him. His
two companions insisted on being locked
up if he was, so the three were put be-
hind the bars. BY night they were sober
enough to continue their journey.
Mase Wise denies the sensational story
about his having been threshed by one of
his employees. He says he got tired of
having the boy hang around and do
nothing, and SO paid him off and told
him to go. The fellow went, but Wise
says that two Overcoats went from the
barn at the same time, and he got the
police to look after the flying fellow. 1t
is SAID that he was tracked to Omaha,
but preferred not to return.
The annual house cleaning has its ad
vantages as we'll as discomfOrts. 1t makes
Dome agreeable changes, but discloses un-
pleasant surprises. A family residing on
an avenue within half block of Main
street, in removing the bedding recently
found nest of nice. 1t appears that
the nest had been made during the cold
weather, and that the mice had played
around the house in the day time, while
at night they retired with the heads OF
the family, or rather the feet Of the fam
lily, in their warm couch. One poor lit
tie follow was found to have been too
snugly nestled, and the life had been
squeezed out. When the house cleaner is
away the mice will play.
The Council Bluffs folks feel exceed
ingly happy. While other cities have
been troubled with floods, and while the
nervous souls kept predicting that there
would be water on the lands near the
river, there is none seen as yet even in
Is falling, but even if it should go three
feet higher than ut any time yet. still
there would be no trouble with it here
The new leyee, the new systems of drain
age, seem to be giving perfect protec
ton, and this years test is worth thou
SANDS OF dollars IN simply establishing
more firmly the confidence that Council
Bluffs is not in condition to be damaged
BY high water even with the treacherOus
Missouri.
Mike Stenwick yesterday lodged /,
complaint against Harry Leland fo
humping him. The other side of the
story, as corroborated by some of the eye
witnesses to the affair, shows that Mix,
was the one at fault. He used to worl
for Harry Leland, and it is said that h
borrowed a $l2 watch, which he after
wards pawned. In settling with him, LIE
land kept out IS until such time as tn
watch should be returned. Mike was de
termined to have the IS or else poun,
Harry. He waited for him Mt the Ogdel
livery. but when he hopped on he had t.
hop off again. Then he sought the courts
Harry is not pugilistic, and hence tn
statement that he acted in self defense i
quite readily accepted.
